For the first time, Japan Otaku Fantasy Martigny is coming to our beautiful canton of Valais. This is a convention focused on Japanese culture, pop culture, manga and the geek universe in general.

Taking place at the CERM in Martigny during the weekend of December 7 and 8, 2024, the Japan Otaku Fantasy Martigny will offer a plethora of activities, but also guests.

Hiroki Takahashi

First of all, it will be singer Hiroki Takahashi who will honor us with his presence. If this name sounds familiar, that’s okay. This is the singer from the opening of Dragon Ball “Makafushigi Adventure”.
